  • Software tools for FMS and FAS preliminary design: an industrial case study

  • Ing. Adriano De Luca
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    09 March 2009, pp. 273-277
  • SUMMARY

    A complete industrial case study is presented, including FMS machinery selection, preliminary production planning, layout and transportation design and performance evaluation, after pallets quantity and fixtures mix optimization.

    The case refers to an actual preliminary design performed to submit an offer for a System to a potential customer.

    The aim of the paper is to show the impressive help coming to FMS and FAS designers from the use of effective software tools, very easy to deal with, very quick and highly reliable in their quantitative evaluations.

  • A review of expert systems principles and their role in manufacturing systems

  • P. T. Rayson
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    09 March 2009, pp. 279-287
  • SUMMARY

    The objectives of this paper are twofold: The first is to briefly review for manufacturing engineers some of the early work undertaken by Artificial Intelligence researchers and the issues addressed which have culminated in today's “expert systems’ or ‘intelligent knowledge based systems’ (IKBS), as they are becoming known.

    The second is to indicate some early applications in manufacturing and to point out that any major success in this field requires long-term commitment, in depth familiarity with A.I. techniques and access to A.I. development tools, all of which are currently in short supply internationally.
